...long way from the 80% approval he enjoyed in January 1964. Viet Nam is his foremost problem, and barring either a spectacular military triumph or successful negotiations with Hanoi, a G.O.P. candidate might well argue, a la Eisenhower, that a new Administration is needed to end an unpopular war. The looming threat of inflation-"profitless prosperity" as Washington's Governor Evans calls it-is another bugaboo.

Tory Chief Ted Heath has proved to be so ineffectual and lackluster that only 35% of Britons rate him as doing a good job. No matter how unpopular a course he may set, Harold Wilson thus remains the undisputed master of his ship...
